Make sure you've got the right settings in the kppp setup. Your modem should
probably be on ttys0, ttys1, ttys2 or ttys3 (these correspond to com1, 2, 3, & 4
in
Windoze). My Mdk version (6.1) came with the default on "modem" - which is not
correct. Also, I had to change the default flow control setting from crtscts to
xon/xoff. Then it worked perfectly.
Regarding your other questions, I'm sorry but I don't have the answers.
